'1 and 2, the guard rail has its ends turned oppositelyfrom each other and secured upon' theupperface alt'tlfe ends of thesupporting rail 12, by machine screws, These screws 16 hold both" 16, orthe like. I sections of the guide to the side bar of the fraine IOH' i Areceptacle 17 is mounted i-nrtheframe and may be of any desiredconfiguration. The 1 receptaclewi n the present iinstance is shown as ofbar-rel sh ape. Trunnions 18 project frome the opposite sides of thereceptacle 17, intermediate the ends of-the latter, and are secured to thereceptacle by plates 19 conforming to the side of the receptacle;Thetru'nnions 1 8 project through the guides an'd carry rollers-20loosely and DQtatabIymounted. thereon, which rest upon thesupportingra-ils 12 beneath the guard rails l ly and which are held fromlateral displacement by the flanges 13 and 15.

In Big, 7,1 have shown .a modified form of antifriction device forthetrunnions'of the churn As there shown, the supporting rail 12* isprovided with spaced longitudinally; extending grooves 13, while theguard, rail 14% is likewise provided with spaced longitudinallyextending grooves 15%.

The trunnionsihaveraceways encircling the samei-n whichareretained theball bearings ,neeting .rods'22. are hinged to the crank portions of theshaft.:21:and"=are pivoted upon the trnnnionsal8, preferably at the innersi'des of. the frame'10, By turning the shaft 21, by; a hand l'ew23,or other suitable operatlng means, the receptacle is;reciprocatedback.and forth in' the longitudinally extending guidesr A pulley or zbalancei-wheel"24=- may be mounted on-the shaft" 21 to insure the steadyrotation of the shaft-and prevsntjar upon the handle 23, and the-:pulley24-itself may be driven in "any suitable manner to rotate the-shaft21J-As shown in-Figs, 3 and the receptacle ,17-=:1S open" at oneend,'-a'ndprovided thereat with-a ring 25 fitted over theedge'of-thereceptacle and held thereto bylscrewsorthe like.

ihnrinwardly extending flange or ledge 26 is formed on the ring andprovides a seat for a rabbetedvcover 27 ,closing th e open end of'ft ercctac'le; Tlie cover '27Fjcarriesupon astu e ace a centrally disposedsocket plate 28, in which is threaded a thumb- *scre'w '29 'beneathtlieheaiil' of which is pivqted a clamping arm 30.

The ring 25 carries pairs of opposed apertu red lugs or sockets 31, inea chpair of which "arehinged the opposite ends ofopposed-' -bails 32,adapted to be turned down against the socket plate 28 of the cover andbound thereon by the clamping arm 30, the latterbeing-held tight againstthe bails by the thumb screw 29. 1:

When the f receptacle 17 'is reciprocated back and forth,*it is held toa horizontalpath, as shown in full lines in Figs. 1' ant-l2, by a socketplate 33, mounted on the closed end of the receptacle, and inw hich isdetachably fitted-one end'of a-guide' rod 34 best shown in Fig. 8."thumb-screw 35, or other-suitable device, 'is threaded in one side ofthe socket and bindsthe guide rodv 34 therein. The guide 'rod' 3 1extends outwardly over the adjacent end of the-frame 10 and fitsin abearing." :As may be seen from Fig. 9, this hearing comprises a basepart 36 secured to the-frame 10 and a hinged part 37 held in closedposition about the rod 34 by a thumb-screw '38-;

. The guide rod -34holdsthe receptacle 17' from turning upon-thetrunnions 18, and

restricts, the receptacle to a straight path' When it is "desired -totilt the receptacle to raise the covered endthereof for placing articlesor material in'the' receptacle, or for swinging the coveredend-do'wnwardly to dump or pour the contentsfrom the receptacle, the thumbserew' 3 5-isreleased from 1 The hearing or "connection between theg-u'id erod 34 and theframe 10 is detachable to permit the use of-therod-34' as a handle in: swinging the receptacle 1 17 'into variouspositions for emptying the samefi Thede tachable connect-ion between'theguide rod 34s-and' the closed end of the-receptacle permits the swingingof the receptacle inde-- pendently of=.the guide5-rod-forfilling thereceptacle. 1; I
